Finally got a car!!!!!
Finally got a car!!!!! so yesterday we went and looked at a '94 camaro and decided that it was a steal for $600
pros
-good interior (besides what is stated below)
-good tires
-all it needs is a fuel pump to be drivable (ordered a granatelli 255lph pump)
-v6 (now i can motor swap it and still insure it as a v6
)
cons
-hole under the driver side door lock where someone broke into it
-dent in passenger quarter quarter
-bad fuel pump
-cracked windshield
-cracked dash pad
-driver side window doesn't roll down (probably off track)
well these so called "cons" aren't really cons because my brother paints cars so he's gonna hook me up
we are a mechanically inclined family and this shouldn't be much of a test
plans for the car
paint the car the original hunter green or whatever
tint windows 5% on the back and 20% sides
headlight covers like these but smoked
17x9 in the front and 17x10.5 for the rear (if they'll fit)torq thrust m wheels with black centers like these
install 255lph pump
5.3 swap (cam, tsp pushrods, ls6 springs, ls1 intake, arp rod bolts)
maybe use stock tranny (is it a 700r4?) if not it will be a TH350 with a shift kit and a 3500 stall
posi and 3.73 gears
1 3/4" pacesetter LT's (no AIR or EGR)
pypes X pipe with built in cutouts
dynomax bullets dumped at axle
im sure im missing some things but ill add pictures of the car tomorrow
update: pics!!
and now finally..... THE POWERHOUSE

most likely because a ls1 is around $1500 and a 5.3 is $300
yep it runs good now that i changed fuel pumps... now i just need a lot of other parts...
i should be ordering posi tonight for it and after that ill find a k member and stuff... would it be hard just top use the v6 k member? whats different about it?
